This book reminded me of "The Shining" but with less horror. There was really not neat ending, but I liked that. Sometimes things just don't have a plausible explanation for why they happened. Good read.

It was good and if you don't think so you are quantifiably wrong. McFarland is a master of language and of walking the line between the supernatural and the worldly. It wasn't a scary story by any means, but it was unsettling and the placement of detail made me feel for the main character Cook in a very unusual way. Some other reviews call him "weak" but they clearly missed the point of his upbringing and substance abuse. And my heard sings for Pascal. Such a cutie.
